Connecting The Speakers - Yamaha R-N303 Owner's Manual

Note
• Do not bundle audio cables and speaker cables together with the
power cord. Doing so may generate noise.
• The PHONO jacks are designed for connecting a turntable with
an MM cartridge.
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in
the signal. However, for some turntables, you may hear less
noise without the GND connection.
• On the R-N303D and R-N303 Europe models, to prevent sound
loops, no sound will be outputted from the LINE 3(OUT) jack
while the LINE 3 input is selected. On other models, no sound
will be outputted from the LINE 2(OUT) jack while the LINE 2
input is selected.

Bi-wire connection
Bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the
combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire
compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These
two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two
independent sections. With these connections, the mid and
high frequency drivers are connected to one set of terminals
and the low frequency driver to another set of terminals.

Note
• When making bi-wire connections, remove the shorting bridges
or cables on the speaker. Refer to the speakers' instruction
manuals for more information.
• To use the bi-wire connections, press SPEAKERS A and
SPEAKERS B (p. 8) so that both speaker indicators ("SP A"
and "SP B") light up on the front display.
